DR. MORRIS: I could do it with contact on one side.
MR. CORSAN: What time of the year do you do it?
DR. MORRIS: Almost any time of the year, preferably May or June.
MR. CORSAN: Do you wax that before you put the raffia on?
DR. MORRIS: After everything is all complete that is my final touch.
MR. WEBER: When the stock is sappy wouldn't the sap jam the edges of the plane and roughen the bark?
DR. MORRIS: Not if you make it shave. I get the edge of my plane so it will shave. Then it will not roughen it. I can screw in a scion two feet long. I have tried it and had it start into growth. Thus I have got half my tree under way. Now I cover the whole thing with melted paraffin.
MR. CORSAN; How do you apply the paraffin, paint it on?
DR. MORRIS: Yes, with a soft brush.
MR. CORSAN: Do you use the stuff you buy at Woolworth's by the pound?
